About us

The Other Project is a registered nonprofit association based in Hamburg. In 2020, at the height of the Covid pandemic, we came together as friends and colleagues to start a project we hoped would bring us and others together on a regular basis. However, following the outbreak of the ongoing war in Ukraine and in response to the needs of those who had fled the conflict, our mission expanded to include securing the rights and livelihoods of refugees and asylum seekers regardless of their nationality.
